Bongbong: PNoy has 'selective' justice
MANILA, Philippines - A senator who belongs to the Aquino family's rival clan described President Aquino's administration as "very selective" in applying justice.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. compared the slow pace at which the Maguindanao massacre trial has been moving with the haste in the recent filing of an electoral sabotage case against former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
No one has been convicted yet for the massacre, which happened exactly two years ago tomorrow.
"Nakita naman natin, kung gugustuhin ng gobyerno, kung gugustuhin ng DOJ (Department of Justice), ng prosecutor, may paraan para gawing mabilis," Marcos said, referring to the filing of charges against and the issuance of an arrest warrant for Arroyo, which all happened within a day.
Asked what this makes of the Aquino administration, the senator said, "They are very selective in their application of justice. They are very selective in their application of the use of the powers of the executive, and that selection is according to political and partisan lines."
Marcos also criticized the government's handling of the Arroyo case as "a bit of a mess," particularly because of the Justice department's defiance of a Supreme Court order allowing Arroyo and her husband, Jose Miguel, to go abroad.
That would not have happened had the administration filed cases filed cases against the Arroyos earlier, he said.
"I cannot understand why, to arrive at justice, we have to violate orders of the highest court in the land," Marcos said. "Hindi nila pinag-isipan, hindi napagplanuhan, and I know for sure that it could have been done in a much better way."
Marcos added he understands the administration's actions because it was President Aquino's campaign promise to prosecute his predecessor.
He also believes Arroyo should be held to account for her alleged abuses, having been with the opposition during her administration.
He thinks, however, that the Aquino government is getting personal in dealing with its political foes.
"The administration is and has been getting very personal," Marcos said.
"Kasama na rin kami doon," he added. Months ago, President Aquino refused to give burial honors for Sen. Marcos' father, former President Ferdinand Marcos, much to the Marcos family's dismay.

HINDI MAKUHA SA TINGIN
Nang hindi makuha sa tingin

Dahil sa Hacienda
tayo ay naloko na.
Mga balimbing na
kongresista
nagmagaling.
Pero nang dumating
sa Senado
nagtumbling-tumbling.
Utos ng Hari
ay di dapat mabali.
Pero paano na kung ang
Hari ang bali?
Wala pareho din yan..
Kung walang pinagkaiba si pnoy kina GMA, dapat ipa prioritize nya yung freedom of information na inupuan nung time ni GMA..
Kung hindi, selective talag sya he he he
Hayy naaabnoy na ata itong mga supportes ni Abnoy
Ang taong walang puwang sa puso ang pagpapatawad ay yon lamang mga taong kampon ng demonyo. Walang magandang patutunguhan sa bansa natin kung itong Abnoy government halos puro lang kaso ng mga Arroyo at kaalyado nito ang inasikaso. Attention sa mga supporters ni Abnoy, kahit inumin pa ninyo ang dugo ni GMA at kainin ang laman nito sa subrang galit ninyo ay wala pa ring magandang pagbabago ang buhay ninyo kung di kayo magsisikap. Kung paghihiganti lang lagi nasa isip ninyo ay hindi kailan man kayo uusad . Umusad kayo dala ng pagpatawad cgurado maganda ang kinabukasan ninyo.
Pagbabago sa Paglilingkod ni PNoy
Ang administrasyon n nga ni Pnoy ang daan sa pagbabago. Ayan na nga, binibigyan n ng closure ang mga kasong bininbin ng dating Ombudsman at ng SC.
At hindi lang pagbabago ang nakakamit natin ngayon kungdi "just" and "fair" pa.
Ipagpatuloy lang ang ginagawa nina PNoy at mga tauhan nya, maayos ang lahat. Pag may corrupt at killings (gaya sa administrasyon ni Arroyo), hindi LALONG uunlad dahil takot mag-invest ang mga investors at hindi magtitiwala sa justice system pag nag-file sila ng complain.
Bongbong: A Dictator in the Making
I think it is time that social networking should be use to propagate all the things that Marcos had done to the country.
I came across a video from the Beatles. And I was surprised to learn that they experienced a horrific day in Manila. At the height of their popularity, at the height of Marcos greed and power, Beatles tasted the bitterness of Marcos presidency.

Grandfather of all Corruptions.....MARCOS
Bongbong....tumigil-tigil ka na nga dyan...remember...you father is the creator & the Grandfather of all the Corruption in the Philippine History..kapal kasi ng mga mukha ng angkan nyo kaya nandyan ka pa rin sa politika, kasi ang karamihang Filipino ay madaling masilaw sa salapi pagdating ng botohan....pero hinding hindi namin makakalimutan ang mga garapal na nakawan at kabulastugan na alam ng buong mundo sa panahon ng ama mo.
Priority?
Well mas priority nila si GMA kesa sa Masaker kasi mas mabenta sa tao, natatakpan ang tunay na kalagayan ng pinas(mahal ng bilihin, ang daming tax pati na SSS, mahal gasolina at pamasahe, kuryente tubig, ang taas ng kriminalidad, hay ano pa.) pero balewala sa gobyerno.. saka wala nga silang nagawa nung panahon ni cory until now para mapanagot mga marcos at ang history magsasabi ng kasalanan ng mga marcos, tamo naging senador pa si bongbong, ang pangit sa gobyerno na to baluktot ang pamamaraan nila sa paglilitis - mali na nga nagawa noon gagawin din nila ibig sabhin mas masahol pa sila ngaun..
A Strongman'
Si Marcos ay "strongman". hindi pipitsuging Presidente..
Sino ba yung mga reklamador sa panahon ni Makoy?, yung may mga ambisyong pulitikal... Na nunh matapos ang EDSA, wala rin, mahirap pa din si Juan de La Cruz, nagpalit lang ng nakaupo at mga umupo, wala pa ring pagbabago, silasila rin...he he he
Marcos Needs Reality Check
Bongbong needs to understand that the people that elected him are young voters who knows nothing about his past. He was elected because he had a convincing commercial about his Senatorial bid.
Once these young voters learn what Marcos had done to the country and how he benefited from years under Martial Rule, the anger will be shifted from Arroyo to the Marcoses.
He better learn to behave, otherwise, we need to urge this Government to educate the people how Marcos brought this country from No. 2 in Asia to the sick nation in Asia.
Thanks to his family and those who supported the dictatorship.
